SOUND OFF: Shutdown is Obama's fault; Neighborhood street's speed limit a joke to passers by; State is better off with Snyder; Republicans should stand their ground

Shut the government down and no one should be paid. It is not the Republicansí fault, it is President Obamaís fault.Commerce Township

The biggest joke in Oakland County is the 25 mile per hour speed limit sign on Baybrook Drive.Waterford Township

I can not believe what Brooks Patterson had to say on how most people will not be affected by the shut down. If we are not going to miss them then why do we have them? We have a lot of people who are veterans and seniors that use Medicare and Medicaid, If you donít consider these people important, those who fought for this country and raised you, then I am truly disgusted. Some of us are not wealthy Republicans that can go without our pensions. I am just disgusted with the government. I wonder how many of those senators would give up their pay for fighting over something they know they canít win.White Lake

You bashers of Gov. Snyder need to remember the mess that the last governor left us in and tell us what you would have done to clean up this mess.Oakland County

Yes, yes, yes. Thank you Republicans. Stand your ground. Freedom isnít free anymore with President Obama. Jobs lost or part-time jobs. This Obamacare is not a good thing, it is a job killer. There are a lot of part-time or low-paying jobs.Highland
